Are the Dodgers looking at a 40 man roster crunch this coming offseason?

I think there's a very good chance of this. They have double figures numbers of guys on the 60 day IL right now, those guys will all have to be added back to the 40 man roster in the offseason (with the exception of Hudson or any other FAs). They have a bunch of guys whose contracts will clear out (Kershaw, Heyward, Hernandez). I count something like a dozen guys who are arb eligible on their team.

I assume Trayce is to even out some money for Lynn's buyout?  No way the Sox actually "want" him. Is he gonna keep them from losing 105 games?  Doubt it.

Like the return, though. Dodgers have like 8 legit guys AA or above.  They absolutely needed to get 1 of them. Now, how much is he going to regress under the Sox piss-poor pitching development?

Probably balances out the money and if we're being totally honest - the White Sox actually need a backup CF to give Robert a few days off the rest of the way. If that's all he does, that's useful.

At worst Trayce is a solid 4th OF the rest of the year.  Not that any of it matters.

we need a AAA SP back in one of the deals unless we want to see a rotation with Banks or Scholtens

Never mind that s%*#. Get the best prospects you can, no matter where they play or at which level. Let the major league team get absolutely pounded every day. Makes no difference.

Any major victory for Rick Hahn and the front office! Dude has been crushing it this week. 

Now let's trade Cease and Robert and really stock the farm. If we can't compete in the actual standings then we might as well win the prospect ranking game! 

Rick Hahn excels at two things: Tear downs and extending young players

So he definitely needs to be gone after this.

That or cheaper one-year contracts for reclamation projects, guys off poor years or injury prone starters. Try to catch them in a turnaround year so we can sell them in next year’s deadline for more farm talent. 
 

Could be a little of both.
